Ayo, thats our video! Thanks for reacting to Shiloh, its my favorite so far!

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

Great work! Hopefully we can send some new subs your way. You deserve it.

@@WarhawkYT great video. Earned my sub

[@justinrichards2836]

A video I would definitely recommend from Warhawk is their look at the Battle of Memphis, the biggest gunboat battle on the Mississippi River.

[@Onlytheclouds]

Yup love the Warhawk videos. Very detailed. You can tell he has been influenced by the epic history videos on the napoleonic wars

[@Frost73268]

Wouldn't mind watching some more Warhawk reactions.

[@illinoismotionpicturestudi5065]

So glad Warhawk is finally getting the recognition they deserve. Their videos are always top notch, not to mention the community is so fun and welcoming

[@calebjames7444]

A relative of mine (brother of my 5th ggf) was captured at Fort Donelson. He was in Crittenden's army. History is always more interesting when you realize that you are learning about things your family went through. The numbers of armies are more than just that. They are all first hand experiences of people just like us.

[@emperorofrome692]

Been subscribed to Warhawk for a while. I'm glad he's getting shouted out. He deserves it.

[@Shifty69569]

I have been requesting it since Warhawk had 2k subs. so underrated

[@rythania7686]

The Loyal Mountaineers of Tennessee is an amazing book written in the 1800s about the East Tn Union Men.

[@emperorofrome692]

6:12 Yes. Much of Appalachia was pro-Union. The mountains and rough terrain made widespread plantations difficult and so much of the population were poor farmers and laborers with not a lot of ties to slavery. Everybody thinks about West Virginia as the main example, but eastern Tennessee, northern Alabama, and northern Georgia all had large pro-Union areas.

Did the Shiloh Reenactment this weekend. Amazing place.

[@JordanStar7]

I’m from Tennessee and have lived here my whole life. When I was a little girl one of my favorite outings I remember was when my dad took me to Shiloh National Military Park. Especially the “bloody pond”… I will never forget that. I do plan on going back in the next few weeks after getting more into American history recently. Great stuff!

Shiloh is a great visit still. I went for the first time last year and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

[@Mr10johnny10]

Found Warhawk during quarantine and binged em. Very high quality + cool accent

[@KingofDiamonds85]

I don't believe the war in the West would have been different, outcome at least, but I personally believe the battle of Shiloh would have had a much different outcome if he didn't die. On a side note, the last major reenactment of the battle of Shiloh, I fired the first shot to start the battle. It was awesome.

[@holyshibata5764]

Keep going! Warhawk has some great content. His animated maps on Jackson's Valley Campaign are the best I've ever seen. Great video as always.

[@meisteckhart]

I would vote you continue this series and do more from this channel.

[@testemunhosdahistoria9688]

It's amazing how much epic history tv influenced new history channels.

[@ConkerVonZap]

I liked this channel, thank you 👍🏻

[@svenrio8521]

Warhawk is such a great channel, I only recently discovered them but man are they amazing. I was going to recommend you check them out in the next live stream but guess that's no longer necessary, huh. Let's hope Warhawk gets more subscribers because of this video.

[@gregdiiamond3899]

Yes! Please continue this.

[@raylast3873]

I‘ve already binged all of Warhawks videos in the past couple of months.

[@aaron199]

There is a restaurant near where I live, in Cape Girardeau Mo, called Port Cape. They have copies of text in their menus talking about some of the inter tangled history of that building and the Civil War. And the text talks about how General Grant used that building as a headquarters while he was stationed in the area.

[@beslim15]

Chris, you should check out Pea Ridge in Arkansas. One of the best battlefields to visit.

[@steelepartridge6954]

Warhawk is an excellent channel, glad to see you reacting to them!

[@kendallcribbins415]

I like it! Let's see more!

Charles Smith was one of US Grant's teachers at West Point and he was in charge of cadets for six years.

[@Pickle136]

love warhawk, watching a map with movements is so helpful.

[@patrickwodkins6355]

Warhawk is absolutely amazing. I've studied the American Civil War for almost 30 years and I can attest he gets it right.

[@desvon1102]

I am so excited for your book, your way of speaking and knowledge on subjects will perfectly fit for a book.

Warhawk is a good channel. I was surprised at how few subscribers it has, since I enjoyed all their videos.

[@slymanpoor7913]

I have subscribed to WarHawk myself. I really enjoy his content as well.

[@Lakitu886]

I keep going back to these reactions because I love you talking about the civil war at length and in detail so much. Hopefully there’s another reaction series like this in the future on other battles

[@jacobgivens7906]

Please continue on with the civil war content, fantastic as always

[@cragnamorra]

Beauregard is an interesting character. Not at the same rarefied level as Grant/Lee/Sherman, but at the next tier down ("pretty darn good"), probably among the better senior commanders on either side. Hardly unemployed; had an almost "Forrest Gump"-like tendency to pop up at various times in both theaters throughout the war. But still seems to have been rather underutilized. Seems likely he would've fared better than the likes of Bragg or Pemberton in situations/times where those folks, um, "underperformed". Goes back to the point of Jeff Davis having favorites and not-so-favorites. Beauregard was one of the latter, plus as a Creole Louisianan was probably already a bit of an outsider in high CSA political/military circles anyway.

[@bertmustin]

Simon Bolivar Buckner was the last living Confederate general with the rank of Lt General in 1914 and his son Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr was the highest ranking U.S. officer killed in World War II at Okinawa.

[@calvinkeinath6955]

I’m watching (listening) to this as I drive from Michigan to Shiloh! I love Warhawk’s channel so I would love to see you continue the series

[@TheMacJew]

Chris, might I suggest a visit to Crawfordsville, IN, if it's not already on your itinerary? The Lew Wallace Study is a beautiful location where you can learn more about the the man himself as well as see some of his paintings.

[@jackcrawford4025]

My understanding of why there was no Admiral was because the senate thought it was too British sounding same thing happened for the rank of commodore as well

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

Lew Wallaces Division? Lots of scenic hiking then... ;) (Yes i know he tried hard to make up for it on day 2 with very aggressive maneuvers, but the long detour simply will not be forgotten...

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

As I understand it the reluctance to name officers Admiral was connected to the US Navy in general being pretty small and Admiral being so intimately connected to the structure of the British Navy which still wasn't very well liked in the States... The Navy exploding so quickly in size for the River warfare and the Blockade then overruled these concerns about looking like the English and ever since the US has had Admirals.

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

It's also important to understand that the South had about as much land area as the North excluding California, Oregon, and the unincorporated terrirtories, but due to having the smaller population and being way more focussed on agriculture lacked as many large cities. Largest cities in 1860 were New York at 800k and Philadelphia at 550k, then there were 7 more cities above 100k, all but one in the North: Brooklyn (not yet incorporated into NYC), Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans (Only southern participant here and quickly conquered by the North in Summer 62 i think? 168k total) Cincinnati, St Louis and Chicago. Charleston SC 22nd at 40k, Richmond VA 25th at 37k, Mobile AL 27th at 29k, Memphis TN, 22k, Savannah GA 41st, 22k, Petersburg VA, 50th at 18k, Nashville, TN 54th at 17k, Norfolk, VA 61st at 15k, Alexandria, VA 71st at 13k. 10 largest cities together 369 thousand, which would as one city only be 3rd largest in the whole pre Secession USA... and at not even 1/4 of the sum of all three. Anything else had below 10,000 inhabitants at the 1860 Census.

[@kidtyearchive2144]

Loved this!

[@ericjrat]

I love Warhawk's videos! So very detailed. I hope you look at more of these as they cover a lot of smaller engagements too that are a little less well known.

[@williamstocker584]

Warhawk does a great video about the battle of pea ridge he’s also currently covering the whole peninsula campaign should definitely check them out

[@davemartin4183]

very good episode. I always enjoy your episodes on the civil war. I've watched all of his videos and they are all very good.

[@seanmac1793]

11:20 I would say that you are starting see the union assemble a good roster of commanders. I would say that Curtis and his subordinates handled their army very well at pea ridge, it didn't hurt that all the confederate officers got themselves shot but they won on their own merits i would say

[@davidlloyd150]

Wow. You really do know your civil history.

[@antoninuspius1747]

Your point about all of the western armies and troops involved is really good. In James F. Dunnigan and Albert A. Nofi's excellent book "Dirty Little Secrets of WWII", which is a book loaded with stats and comparative numbers, they state that 90% of US infantry in WWII European theater never fired their guns in anger. Most are doing mundane activites such as policing occupied towns, stationed near supply depots way back from the front lines just in case, or simply being in sectors that are never attacked or attack, etc. It would be interesting to see what the number was during the civil war.

[@Dc0lbyt22]

Warhawk is awesome!

[@sammckee2104]

Would love to see a movie about the friendship of grant and Sherman

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

Recently purchased the game War of Rights on steam on early access, I've always been interested in the American civil war as it also effected Ireland in many ways. Without American helping us in 1847 to establish a new life and many Irish families were able to support by send some money back home.

[@Thisandthat8908]

He has a ...different narration style. but very in depth and well done videos. also Hay/Nicolay go into great detail on east tennessee (and everything else). The confederate troups and militia reacted pretty violent to their resistance (while they could). They also talk about Halleck and so on. It's fascinating to get a view from Lincolns 2 secretaries who were front row witnesses. They very rarely play this card though and base it more on long research and many letters and other documents. One thing they claim is that as soon as Halleck had the overall command he wanted, he became very slow and crareful again, much to the frustration of Grant. However they get quite sarcastic and snarky when it comes to McClellan. You get the distinct impression he became rather unpopular in these circles after a while.

[@oisinmurphy6401]

Hey VTH. Im just requesting this jn reference of your Potato Famine video, you should definitely check out more on Irish history. There is so much to it whether it be The 1916 Easter Rising, Wolfe Tone’s rebellion of 1798 and the Irish Civil War in the early 20’s. You should definitely check out some of them as they ar every jntersting and not many people know how much Ireland tried to gain independence

The soldiers firing their wet weapons to see if they fire sounds really stupid. But the last thing you want to have to worry about is a misfire. I don't blame the soldiers. That is lack of training and leadership in my opinion. Modern weapons systems being so intricate and we'll engineered and manufactured still produce all sorts of snafus. And at the worse times. For some reason that was my huge takeaway. Simply put, I get it.

[@Thraim.]

This whole operation seems too complex for an era that doesn't have radio. If just a single part of the line is kept from advancing in time the whole plan falls apart. They didn't even manage to get to the battlefield without a lot of men getting lost on the way. I'm very sceptical that they're able to manoeuvre the whole army like this.
